This is a very simple, heartwarming and soul touching food cooked in every household. A lot of people feel it's a lot of effort to make this (well at least a lot of my friends do)😁😁; but honestly, it's really very very simple. You do not need to depend on that day you go to a restaurant or order delivery to enjoy this special dish. It's simply the combination of some soft fresh paneer, some crunchy matar mixed in with the perfect blend of spices that brings out the amazing flavour of this dish.
Serves: 4
INGREDIENTS:
1. Assemble the ingredients: Take a pan, add some ghee/ butter and once the butter melts add the paneer. Fry these till they are golden grown in color. Sprinkle some salt when frying. Set this aside on a plate. Now, in the same pan add some oil and fry onions till they turn color, once this happens add the tomato, garlic, ginger and cashews and fry them for 2-3 mins on a medium flame. Take these also out of the pan and set aside to cool down (this is your masala). Again, add some oil to the same pan, add the green peas and cook it for a 1-2 mins.
2. Grind the masala: Once cooled down, transfer the masala you set aside into a mixer jar/blender and add green chilies and blend it to a smooth paste.
3. Prepare the dish: Take a kadai add some oil, add the masala and cook this for few seconds. Add haldi powder, red chili powder, coriander powder and salt and little water. Mix these well and cook this for about 2 mins till you see the oil separating from the masala. Now, add the paneer and green peas and mix it well. Cover and cook for 5 min. Add a dollop of butter and garnish with coriander leaves.
4. Plating: You can have this delicious and tasty matar paneer with chapatis, rice, naan or even put it in a burrito to make a roll and enjoy.
